Recap Of The 18th East Hampton Antiques & Design Show on the Historic Mulford Farm

Come Visit the

Annual

East Hampton Antiques & Design

Show With Me

As promised, we attended the Preview Benefit Cocktail Party for the 18th annual East Hampton Antiques & Design Show last Friday at Mulford Farm in East Hampton Village. This year architectural and design talents Tony Ingrao & Randy Kemper hosted the event, and I enjoyed learning they were longtime East Hampton residents.

A big crowd showed up with over four hundred guests walking and shopping the show. I love that there was a mix of locals, East Hampton Historical Society trustees, celebrities and design professionals all mingling and shopping together for antiques on this beautiful and historic farm. How fun it was to spot Sex and the City's Kim Cattrall and Doyle Auctioneer's Laura Doyle at the Step and Repeat, and to see Charlotte Moss and Steven Gambrel shopping as well. I heard Jennifer Lopez showed up the next day and was seen looking at some vintage finds.

Even with all the wonderful people watching, the main attraction is the plethora of antiques available from vendors across the country. I loved meeting with many of them for the first time, and catching up with some I've known over the years. Please take a look at my top five favorite stops this year at the show and I hope you will follow them on Instagram.

Please note, the 2024 Show benefits the East Hampton Historical Society, and there was generous support this year from Ralph Lauren, Doyle Auctioneers and Appraisers, the Southampton Hospital Foundation, and Landscape Details. And, this year, the show was managed by Green Tree Events.

Happy Nesting
